New Zealand-Germany Science & Technology Programme

Funding for New Zealand researchers to travel to Germany or for German researchers to travel to New Zealand to work on joint research projects.

Applications CLOSED

The Royal Society of New Zealand, in partnership with the Bundesanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Ernährung (BLE – Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food) and the International Bureau of BMBF (IB-BMBF), has opened the call for the 2015 New Zealand-Germany Science & Technology Programme.

Funding

The programme supports collaboration between New Zealand and German researchers with up to $6,000 (GST exclusive) available in respect of any single trip from New Zealand to Germany. Two types of applications under this programme will be considered:

Single activity applications which support activities that facilitate new international linkages or new activities.

Applications for two-year collaborative exchanges, which involve new linkages or new activities aimed at fostering substantial projects.

Funding under this programme supports travel-related costs and does not fund direct research costs. Reciprocal costs for German researchers travelling to New Zealand to work on supported projects will be covered by similar German funding schemes. For more information please refer to the guidelines below.
